The Greatest Loser 2017: Week 4 Scoreshttp://www.talkabouttennis.com/forum/threads/25716-The-Greatest-Loser-2017-Week-4-Scores?goto=newpost
Sun, 15 Oct 2017 00:20:18 GMTI know what you're thinking. How can you be posting the week 4 scores before the Shanghai finas have even started? What about all of those contestants who have Nadal and/or Federer on their teams? Well surprise, surprise, as Gomer Pyle used to say, but neither Fed nor Rafa are on any teams :shocked:, Therefore, the week 4 scores are complete.

Week 4 saws some big scores, the biggest score of all going to waylandboy-tw, who managed to have an incredible 8 first round losers in Shanghai on his way to having the highest weekly score, followed by ptmcmahon and Omegadoom. That winning score was enough to move waylandboy-tw up from second to first in the overall standings, with week 3 leader Miles dropping to second and Omegadoom jumping past tenedab into third.

The leaders have managed to put some breathing room between themselves and the pack, but there are still three weeks to go in the contest and lots of first round matches to be lost. The trade deadline for week 5 (Antwerp, Moscow and Stockholm) will be early Monday morning.

Sun, 08 Oct 2017 16:42:22 GMTWeek 3 sees a change in the standings, as Miles moves into the lead, followed by waylandboy-tw and tenedab. ponchi101, who led for the first two weeks dropped into fifth place, but still close to the leaders.

The big winner for week 3 was Ribbons, who managed to select 7 first round losers to win the week and move into sixth spot in the overall standings. Second and third highest scores went to Miles and ptmcmahon, respectively.

This week is Shanghai, where the points for a first round loss are the maximum. A good showing here can move any contestant into contention.

Sun, 01 Oct 2017 15:51:20 GMTWeek 2 is in the books, and the Greatest Losers for this week are Denis Istomin and David Goffin. Almost all of us had one of these losers on our squad, and as a result the scores are no longer multiples of 5 or 10.

The week 2 highest scores were for ponchi101, followed by tenedab and miles. For the entire contest the same three are in the medal positions, with ponchi101 in the lead, followed by miles and tenedab. However, here is still time for the rest of us to catch up.

Trades for Tokyo and Beijing will be due within the next 12 hours.

Sun, 24 Sep 2017 16:55:34 GMTThe week 1 scores are in, and the Greatest Loser is.....Damir Dzumhur, who managed to win his first ATP title in St Petersburg, and drag down any contestants who were unfortunate enough to put him on their roster. The other title winner, Peter Gojowczyk in Metz, at least had the decency to be ranked outside the top 100, where was safe from being chosen.

As for the contest, the scores are bunched up pretty tightly, as you expect for the first week of the contest. ponchi101 takes the early lead, followed closely by texasniteowl and waylandboy-tw, who are tied for second. But there is a long way to go, and all contestants have a chance to catch up. Congratulations to the leaders.

Week 2 starts in about 12 hours or so, so get those trades in. Good luck, everybody.

Wed, 20 Sep 2017 01:55:58 GMTSo you picked a bunch of losers, and those knuckleheads somehow managed to start scraping out victories in the year-end slog. No problem, you can post in this thread to trade 'em out for someone who is more likely to do their job (or not, in this case). But pick carefully, you only have six picks for the entire contest, which averages out to one per week for the remaining six weeks of tournaments.
